GB News put so much spin on the latest voting intention poll you’d have thought it was the Wheel of Fortune – 15 votes of no confidence
There’s a very good chance that Reform UK will form a government after the next election.
The party that is frequently at the heart of financial scandals and alleged cover-ups, and that famously proposes policies that fall apart like a hurdling robot at the slightest scrutiny, may get to take a chainsaw to workers’ rights, so that their bilionaire friends get to be even richer.
It’s not, however, a foregone conclusion.
Labour hold a 4pt lead over Reform in our latest voting intention, with the Tories a point behind Reform.

And here’s what the Independent had to say about it.

GB News, however, went with a very different take.

It’s a spin that Malcolm Tucker himself would be proud of. Let’s see what the people without their heads up Nigel Farage’s fundament thought.

GB News have a very strange way of saying 'Reform have gone from 11 points ahead to 4 points behind'. pic.twitter.com/kkZlOWcKja

Reform TV with nonsense that Goebbels would be proud of.

This is a frankly embarrassing way for GB News to try and spin a poll that has Labour two points ahead of Reform. Either commission it and report it properly, or don’t bother. https://t.co/xDwwdmab4o

Lord, @JWaltersJourno really has been given the brief to fawn over Reform, hasn’t he?
Good little propaganda outlet that casually glosses over other polls with context and detail.

What the latest Poll shows is Reform only 1 point in front of the Tories and at their lowest point since January 2025. But the propaganda wing of the party continues to broadcast bullshit for the benefit of the gullible. https://t.co/wHsNcd1EbJ

Looking at the last 5 independent polls, compared with the same companies' ones from last week, we see Labour has increased its lead over Reform by 1%. That isn't a Reform surge.

Hahahaha. You teats. Report the result not the spin. Joke news company.

In short –
This is demonstrably untrue. You are a bunch of sycophantic clowns. Fagash Fuhrer is finished and hopefully he’ll bring you all down with him. Good fucking riddance.
